Title: "Ministry to the Marginalized"
When: Tuesday, July 24 at 1:00 p.m. CDT
All around us there are people who have moved to the margins of society because of addiction, poverty, injustice and crime. In the 25th chapter of the Gospel of St. Matthew, Jesus assures us that we will meet and serve him in these very people. In welcoming the stranger, visiting the prisoner, feeding the hungry and clothing the naked we are doing these things to Him. Brother Zachary Wilberding, OSB, is active in voluntary prison ministry and is well acquainted with a number of other ministries in southern Indiana and Kentucky which reach out to the marginalized. In this presentation he will help participants come to a better understanding of who the marginalized are in the area and how we can all help.
On the panel with Brother Zachary are the Reverend Mike Kough of Potter’s Wheel Ministry in Evansvilleand the Reverend Michael Blunk of the Wayside Christian Mission in Louisville.
Speaker: Mr. Kyle Kramer
Title: "Catholics, Climate, and the Common Good: Exploring our Responsibility to Creation”
When: Tuesday, July 24 at 1:00 p.m. CDT
Climate change is a hot controversy in the current conversation about environmental stewardship. This presentation will explore the basic science of climate change as well as the Church’s response – in teaching and practice – to this global phenomenon. The presenter, Kyle T. Kramer, is a trained Catholic Climate Ambassador for the USCCB-sponsored Catholic Coalition on Climate Change, an organic farmer, author, and director of graduate lay degree programs at Saint Meinrad.
